SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the ailments that need to be addressed longer. Long-term therapy may be needed so that the signs and symptoms are managed accordingly. But then, there are chances of developing various reactions to the medications over time, as the treatment progresses. When it comes to long-term treatment, patients have to talk things over with their doctors so that a good plan of action could be plotted. If the patients are children, then the parents would do well to ask their doctors for the best treatment regimen for their children.
One of the medications that are used for ADHD is Adderall. This is basically one of the drugs of choice for ADHD. As the drug has amphetamine components, there are big chances of developing various side effects or dependence to this. That is why careful planning is needed on the part of the doctor. Due to the high risk of abusing this drug, it is a carefully monitored and controlled medication. The long-term effects of using this drug, however, are both good and bad, as what many users say. Many are worried that maybe most of the things that they might develop are negative, but doctors say that there are also a lot of good effects in store for them.
Positive and Negative Side Effects of Taking Adderall Long Term
One of the main concerns of people who take this medication is that they might develop dependence or become dependent on the drug. Medical experts say that the secret lies in the proper computation of the dosage. The doctor has to be extra keen on dosing so that the patient will only develop positive results once he or she takes the medication. The dosage should just be enough to get rid of unwanted signs and symptoms. If there are any side effects out of taking the medication, it could still be managed with the help of the doctor. There are still other things to worry about while getting treated for ADHD.
Other long-term effects associated with the use of Adderall are positive, such as increased mental focus, motivation, and a lot more. In brain scans, experts say that there is a significant increase in size in the areas responsible for focus and attention. Another good long-term effect of using Adderall for ADHD is that even when the people stop taking this medication (as per doctor’s advice), the effects they had while they were still on the medication would still continue. They will still be able to manage their signs and symptoms well.
Adderall Stops being Effective Long Term?
A lot of experts say through the studies they conducted that there is a possibility that the effects of Adderall could fade over time. By then, the people may already be on another type of treatment for their ADHD. It is really a good thing to try to talk to one’s doctor about the ideal treatment for one who has ADHD. It is important to know which treatment options would be the best. Many doctors recommend Adderall because the good results tend to retain a lot longer, but low chances of developing addiction or tolerance.
While Adderall should be used for good cause, there are recorded cases of Adderall abuse side effects. If you or your loved one is suspected to have Adderall addiction, do not hesitate to ask for help or visit TheRecover.com for more information about Adderall addiction.
